Come and join us!"; Warner Bros packed this movie with lots of the actors they had under contract at this time, and part of the plot has Joan Blondell as a "hostess" for a hotel, employed to "entertain" convention goers; she is romanced by CEO Adolphe Menjou, but she really loves poor salesman Dick Powell) starring Joan Blondell, Adolphe Menjou, Dick Powell, Mary Astor, Guy Kibbee, Frank McHugh, Patricia Ellis, Ruth Donnelly, Hugh Herbert, and Grant Mitchell. The above brief plot summary is just a tiny portion of the "goings on" in this ultra salacious "pre-Code" movie. This was a movie that pushed the limits of what sexual situations could be shown or talked about to never before seen limits, and it is widely credited with being one of the main reasons the infamous Hays Code was so heavily enforced soon after! Note that sadly, all prints of this movie have been lost, and it has not been seen in many years. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
